Oak Ridge, Tenn.

To the Editor:

Regarding the recent discussion about the proposed courthouse inscription, I offer a thought.

For the record, I do not believe in God, so I do not trust God. However, the inscription proponents seem to be genuinely and positively motivated, so I propose a compromise: Inscribe “In God Some Trust.” At least this would be a true statement.

Presumably truth is a virtue worth endorsing on a public house of justice.
